Amazing extension, thank you for your efforts!! The unfortunate thing for this extension, almost a week now it has stopped working, so unhappy about it because I've had it for quite some time that I still try to go and use them and they're not there.😢

It was good while it worked. Apparently broken by a recent YouTube (NOT Chrome) update. 31.03.2020.
